DAVE'S RESULTS FROM SPAIN.

MAGGOTS END.
RODS, AND REELS.
ROUNDTOWNNEWS CHALLENGE CUP.

Firstly many thanks to RTN for sponsoring this series as it grows from year to year.
This weeks match was the last in the "clash of the titans", between the teams for
the ROUNDTOWNNEWS Challenge Cup.The venue as before, was the Rio Segura at the Eden
Canal Stretch.Both teams managed full teams, however we had 3 dry nets but still
managed on the day to have equal points with our opponents. Due to our 2 point deficit
we lost by the narrowest of margins. Jim Rouse in my team fished a blinder in managing
not only to win his section, but the overall match. This he achieved in the last hour,
and by catching his best fish on the whistle.

1ST. JIM(The Chairman)ROUSE fishing the pole using maggot with 6.500 kilo's.
2ND. PAUL(Poco Loco)BAXTER fishing the pole using corn with 5.340 kilo's.
3RD. IAN(Irish Wizard)DALZELL fishing the pole using Bread with 4.580 kilo's.

Congratulations to Paul Baxter, and his team for nudging victory, however there is
always next year.
Pete Hampshire now has full permission to have his replacement hip joint, as the
series is finished, and he will have a year to recover for the next series.

The Picture shows the majority of the two teams relaxing in the sunshine, as always,
at a bar enjoying the day.

TIGHT LINES

DAVE HOARE.

Cheers Dave, unlucky for finishing second, but someones got to lose eh!. I know, i
have been there on a far too regular basis. Role on next year, you can get your
revenge then mate. Do me a favour Dave, win next week so this blog can become a
cheerful blog, because if it relys on me to win, i'm afraid looking at it, it's
got a long bloody wait!.he he. Thanks again Dave, keep them coming buddy.

As for me this weekend, i've got nowt on, but the good news, is my van is back on
the road, so maybe, just maybe i might get a pleasure fishing session in. All
depends on her indoors, bit of grovelling, and hopefully i should be okay. As
always i will let you know. So for now its see ya soon, all the best
